Whole-Genome Draft Sequences of Nine Asymptomatic Escherichia coli Bacteriuria Isolates from Diabetic Patients

Abstract

Escherichia coli can colonize the urinary bladder without causing a disease response in the host. This asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU) can protect against recurrent symptomatic urinary tract infection by virulent bacteria. Here, we report the whole-genome sequences of nine E. coli ABU isolates from diabetic patients.
